you can record key/mouse strokes to apply the same effect over and over...search in PS help for 'actions' (very useful!)

But that doesn't actually help with filtering all the layersbecause you'd still have to click on each layer in turn in order to record the action (and then you wouldn't need to play the action because you'd have done it already).

I am not sure what you do to each layer...but they MAY be able to help!?

I've just been browsing thru the help (TattyCS)and don't see how to set up a repeat performance for actions on a set of layers.
It would be nice if there was a menu option (e.g., Layer | Select Next) which would be ideal for what you're trying to do.

AhaThat gave me an idea. What if I make an action which selects each layer (by labouriously clicking though say a hundred of them) and save it, will that work on all future images? Then I could nest another action inside that; and then just change the contents of that action to whatever filter I want at the time.
edit: wheeeeee! I think it works.

I'm really not sure...I was talking out of my ass, above and really haven't messed with Actions too much.
/edit: though I'm glad it helped...

you COULD maybe export each frame as a set..then 'batch process' them all? (getting beyond the norm here though)
EDIT: a thought, can you apply an 'action' to a layer folder?? ie. put all the pics in a layer folder and apply the action? just a thought.

This has potential toobut I can't remember if there's a command to save every layer as a seperate image.
...as for that other idea, I could just apply the filter to the layer set, but it's not available when the set folder is selected. Putting the filter command inside an action doesn't change that.
